Answer:

To turn on Automatic Downloads on your iPhone or iPad, launch the Settings app and select iTunes & App Stores. Then select which type of purchases you would like to enable for automatic downloads (music, apps, books are the options).

You should also enable Automatic Downloads for apps on your Mac. You can do that by launching the App Store on your Mac and going to App Store > Preferences. Select the option "Automatically download apps purchased on other Mac computers".
